[Bug] 1.1 - Frozen after host disconnects 5 seconds before the game ended

from Demigod Forums

Here's a copy of the email I sent to support.

See attached logs for additional data.

 

Issue - I was playing a 5v5 game tonight hosted by theUberSmurf.  I was on his team and we were the winning team.  5 seconds before the end of the game, it appears that theUberSmurf disconnected from the game per the demigod.log.  The disconnect dialog box popped up, the remaining players slowly timed out (not all at the same time).  I never received the end game summary scores and I was frozen at the disconnect dialog box.  The game appeared to function, but I could not exit the game.  I had to bring up task manager and then end the demigod task.  I sent a PM to theUberSmurf for more details (to find out if he disconnected or what) and am waiting for a response.

Here's the PM I sent theUberSmurf along with his response. I also found that there is no record of this game in the stats browser.

It crashed, I know it can fuck up other people's connections. I didn't do it deliberately. Sorry that happened to you though.

hiya,

Just finished playing a game with you.  You were the host.  About 5 seconds before victory, you appeared to quit the game (you were on the winning team w/ me)... demigod.log confirms.  This brought up the disconnect dialog and led to a crash of my game along with what appears to be everyone else.  Not sure if you just didn't want the stats to be tracked for some reason, had a crash, or didn't realize it would bork the remaining players, but FYI - if you are the host, please stick around until the game ends if we are talking about seconds.  I'm going to create a bug tracking thread in case you got crashed out yourself.

Here's the last thing I received from support. 

 

Thank you for sending in your report.

In the logs it appears that it attemped to rehost the game, but the webserver was timing out and so it was unable to select a new host.
